I'm Dreaming of a Yuma...
- Rehabilitates our under-developed neighborhoods in a calculated and deliberate manner via a process to engage greater community participation from such communities.
- Encourages infill development with incentives which "brighten" each and every proposal or area that could be enhanced with CDBG or other funding sources to raise our hopes and dreams of a better quality of life in each area/neighborhood.
- Provides unique opportunities which enhance the Yuma recreational opportunities for indoor and outdoor venues which are not found presently.
- Mobilizes resources to engage and promote better ways and means to enhance the area(s) stretching from the border to the County line(s).
- Builds on our strengths and supports eliminating the weaknesses that will make our community an outstanding place.
- Widening our streets will help our circulation; however, the surrounding areas should be enhanced to provide for more shade along our walkways with a pedestrian feel of comfort and safety.
- Connecting appropriate pedestrian and bicycle links between neighborhoods to strengthen community shared interests and alternative accessibility.
- Infill development should embrace the needs of protecting appropriate buffer areas from conflicting intensive activities. Many of these ideas are well-intended; however; community input is crucial.
